rather than starting another topic on the same thing ill ask my question here..i want to start doing the softmod thing myself but before i do i need to know if the memory card that comes with the action replay works just as good as the official memory card for using softmods on it? thank you

There are three main gamesave exploits which all work similarly and are based on the games; 007 Agent Under Fire, Mech Assault and Splinter Cell. For each of these there are various different packages available.

To use one of these you will need:
an original (i.e. not a backup) copy of the game in question

a copy of the relevant gamesave exploit package

an XBOX memory device with some way of transferring the game save to it from your PC e.g. an Action Replay or Mega X-Key. Alternatively you need a friend with a chipped or soft-modded XBOX who can transfer the game save to a standard XBox Memory Card.
